In the royal family, how could a prince survive within those cold, unfeeling high walls without a bit of cunning and strategizing?
Even if he were to survive, he'd probably end up being completely controlled and overthrown by the other princes, drained of all resources.
The ninth Prince was the youngest and weakest in terms of power but managed to stand out among his brothers. Trusted with high expectations, he was conferred the title of Crown Prince by the emperor of the Divine Dynasty. This alone spoke volumes about the ninth Prince's abilities.

After Xiao Hei and the others left, Elder Lin couldn't help but speak up, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, why did you do this? Among them, only two or three have noteworthy strength. The rest are just cannon fodder. How can they shoulder such a critical task?"
"Elder Lin, before the preparation is complete, I am not the Crown Prince," he replied.
